Today started off great. My Green Bottle Blue molted and is now 1.25 inch. I was so pleased, and happy as this is the first molt she had with me.
Then this evening my B. emilia molts while I'm out, only I come home to the serious death roll. She was about 1.25 inch and just beautiful. Starting to get her colors and all.
I looked at the exuvia and its perfect. No snags or rough areas. Looks like a perfect molt. I'm just not sure why she curled up.
She still has a tiny bit of life left, but I've seen this before with my first A. geniculata. Once it curled, it didn't uncurl.
I tried to give her some water, but no response.
I am really bummed and I will really miss her. They are one of my favorite species.
